  1. I think it depends how much pain you are, people who are in agony generally lose any inhibitions and could not care less who is watching because it stops registering, the majority of women giving birth while not caring who saw the business end of the delivery is proof of this. However if you're injured but the pain is manageable then your mind will operate as normal and so the thought of a crowd gathering around you while you're in a vulnerable or crippled state would make you very anxious, even more so if you were not a fan of crowds to begin with.

  2. Try a Vietnam War shower - wait for it to rain and hand out the soap.

  3.  @Badeumus  Except for the fact that it was. U-1206 being the submarine.

  4. Have to wait until it returns, if it's an attack sub they may try to get a message to it during one of it's check-ins and then arrange to have the person picked up (highly unlikely) but if it is a ballistic sub then they have no choice but to wait for the sub to come home at the end of it's patrol.

  5. I would assume this is a Los Angeles class so just Google "los angeles class schematic", there's tonnes of different cross sections of the sub from over the years. I haven't looked for a Seawolf class schematic but I would bet there are some seeing as the first boat is 24 years old now.

  7.  @davemwangi05  One of the best ways to die in my opinion, instantly with little or no warning.

  8. The only communications that can reach a submerged sub are Very Low Frequency signals and if you thought 90's dial-up internet was slow you'd be very shocked by how slow VLF is. It takes several minutes for a submerged sub just to receive a short text message of a few hundred characters so anything like real time radio or the internet is a no go unless you are both on the surface and close to land. The movie Crimson Tide shows how slow VLF is when the sub's radio breaks half way through a transmission and so the crew only receive half of their orders.
